Eradicating homelessness in Finland: the Housing First programme
In 2007, Finland's government decided to adopt a new approach to dealing with homelessness. Setting themselves the ambitious aim of halving long-term homelessness by 2011 and eradicating it by 2015, a working group developed and implemented an integrated strategy based on the Housing First model. Housing First follows the principle of providing each homeless person with permanent housing, accompanied by individually tailored health and support services.
